Leave. (a) An Employee experiencing family and domestic violence will have access to ten (10) days per year of paid family and domestic violence leave paid at the Employee’s full rate of pay. Family and domestic violence leave is available upon the Employee’s commencement of employment and resets at the start of each twelve (12) month period of the Employee’s employment. This form of leave may be used to, for example, attend legal proceedings, counseling, and appointments with a medical or legal practitioner, relocation, the making of safety arrangements and other activities associated with the experience of family and domestic violence. (b) Family and domestic violence leave is in addition to any other existing leave entitlements, and may be taken as a consecutive ten (10) day period, a separate period of one or more days, or separate periods to which the Employer and Employee agree, including periods of less than one day. (c) The Employee must give the Employer notice of the taking of leave under this clause as soon as practicable. (d) In addition, the Employer may require the Employee to produce evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person that the leave is taken in accordance with s 106B(1)(b)-(1)(c) of the Fair Work Act. Such evidence may include a document issued by the police, a court, a doctor (including a medical certificate), a family violence support service, or a statutory declaration. (e) For the avoidance of doubt, family and domestic violence leave does not cumulate from year to year and is not paid out on termination of employment.
